Designed for "everyday productivity", the entry-level Vostro 1000 is light on performance and cost. Starting at AU$749, customers can configure the Vostro 1000 with a single-core 1.8GHz AMD Sempron, a dual-core 1.7GHz Athlon or 1.8GHz Turion processor and up to 2GB of RAM and 120GB of hard drive space. A 15.4-inch 1280x800 resolution wide-screen, DVD/CD optical drive and 3-in-1 media card reader are standard.

Dell claims the Vostro series (Latin for "yours") comes with no trialware whatsoever, and is pre-installed with Windows Vista or XP.

The 1400 can be configured with up to 4GB of RAM and comes with an Intel Celeron M processor, or Core 2 Duo if more horsepower is required. Bluetooth is optional.

Dell also unveiled the 1320c colour laser printer as part of the Vostro line-up. While not actually branded as a Vostro device in Australia, Dell is targeting the same small business customers as Vostro with "fast, affordable, colour printing ... optimised for small business."

Starting at AU$399, it boasts up to 12ppm (pages per minute) in colour and 16ppm in mono. Unfortunately the 1320c doesn't include an Ethernet port as standard, but it is optional.
